So engaging and illuminating that it is enjoyable even for those unfamiliar with one of cinema's most dynamic forms.

A loving tribute to Hong Kong stuntmen by one of their own, the directorial debut of stuntman-turned-actor Robin Shou ("Mortal Kombat") is a wince-inducing behind-the-scenes look at the way contemporary Hong Kong action cinema is created.

Shou focuses on a meaty subject, and he has an insider's access to the world he's exploring. But his behind-the-scenes film doesn't spend nearly enough time behind the scenes.

Robin Shou frequently cuts to scenes from one of his recent movies, adding to the impression that this is a vanity reel.
